Kjetil Jikiun began his first experiments in 1997 by homebrewer. At that time, was still an airline pilot for Scandinavian Airlines and, frequently found in the United States, to pack, in addition to beer, all he needs, including malts and hops, and brings them in Norway. Even his brewing education is based primarily on what happens in the scene of American microbreweries. The final step takes place in 2002 when, along with Gunnar Wiig, sets up the Nogna Ø Kompromissløse Bryggeri AS Det. After nearly half a luster of uncertainty and economic hardship for some years the brewery has deservedly gained a place among the main characters of craft beer, and its beers are now exported almost all over the world. Graphics, labels and names of the beers in very austere and minimalist style, like this one called simply Imperial Stout. Almost black, compact foam, hazelnut, fine and creamy. The nose hints of fruit in alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, vanilla and smoke. Backed by a massive body (but not exactly a low carbonation, style), it is very soft in the mouth but immediately strikes the palate with a mouth and decided to coffee roasted malts, which seugono hints of cocoa and fruit in spirit that disappear as the temperature of the beer stands. Dry, takes his leave with a beautiful rich finish of finely roasted malts that leave a bitter taste delicious without any burning. The alcohol (9%) without interfering with the warm drink. An imperial stout very well balanced roasted malt and fruity notes and an excellent companion for cold winter evenings.
